Notes

General

  1. For some reason, Riot decided that Corki cannot take Font of Life rune (even though it is perfectly fine to buy items that lets Corki slow with abilities or auto attacks). It's get replaced by Demolish rune.

How it works

General

  1. You're a healer, Harry.
  2. Even though Corki is not typical support, you are gonna support your team very effectively. With heals, shields and buffs:
    • Heal summoner spell.
    • Guardian rune.
    • Redemption, Locket of the Iron Solari and Moonstone Renewer and other items.
    • Diadem of Songs for some sweet and constant healing.

Playstyle

  1. Play safe, stay in the back and play like support, so you can stay and heal more. 🛡️
  2. Sometimes, you can go in and play more aggressively when the opportunity is right. ⚔️
  3. Focus on healing and shielding to keep allies alive. 💖
  4. Use Redemption, Locket, and Heal on cooldown for healing. ✨

How to play

General

  1. This is an off-meta and very build that works on ANY champion - even those without healing or shielding abilities!
  2. Your job is to stay alive and provide constant healing, shielding, and buffs to your team through items and summoner spells.
  3. Play safe and stay in the back. The longer you survive, the more you can heal your teammates.

Items

  1. Your first rush is Redemption.
  2. Your second rush can be Locket of the Iron Solari (vs AoE burst) or Moonstone Renewer (for sustained healing).
  3. Rush Locket #2 if your team is already doing teamfights or when enemy team has champions with super AoE damage. Otherwise, get Moonstone Renewer #2.
  4. If you manage to stack if quite fast, you can rush Diadem of Songs as well.
  5. Knight's Vow is surprisingly strong if you have a carry/strong bruiser/strong tank. Stick with them and support them specifically.

Summoner Spell

  1. Try to use summoner spell Heal on cooldown, especially when 2+ allies are nearby. With Moonstone Renewer, you want to heal multiple people for maximum value.

Late game

  1. Later in the game (6 items), you can sell boots for a sixth support item to maximize your healing impact.

Buffing your team

  1. Ardent Censer is worth it if you have auto attackers on your team (ADCs, auto-attack bruisers). It will trigger often enough to be good buy.
  2. Staff of Flowing Water is great if you have AP champions on your team. You'll be proccing it frequently with your support abilities.
  3. Cryptbloom is interesting if you want to go full healing. Get it as #4+ item.

Runes

  1. Guardian is your most important rune. It provides massive shielding, but remember: you need to be close to your allies to proc it.
    • You can also manipulate it - for example, you can stick to one ally, or avoid some spells that's gonna only waste it.
  2. Another important rule is Cosmic Insight. It is crucial because it reduces cooldowns for your active items and Heal summoner spell:
    • Redemption and Locket of the Iron Solari - 81.92 sec cooldown (down from 90 sec).
    • Shurelya's Battlesong - 68.12 sec cooldown (down from 75 sec).
    • Heal summoner spell gets reduced cooldown too!

Redemption

  1. Try to use Redemption on cooldown when your allies are missing health. It's best used when they are grouped together.
  2. If you already have Moonstone Renewer, wait (or ping) until allies group before using Redemption, so you can heal everyone at once.
  3. You CAN use Redemption for damage, but generally it's not worth it. Keep it to heal your team!
  4. Be careful when using Redemption while dead and about to respawn. The camera will snap to your position, and you might accidentally cast it in the spawn pool. Watch out for bad timing!

Tips and Tricks

Riot

  1. Phosphorus Bomb can be used to reveal enemy units that might be hiding in a nearby patch of brush.
  2. Valkyrie can be used defensively as well, so try using it for a quick escape.
  3. Corki can continue to attack while using Gatling Gun. Maximizing Gatling Gun is key to mastering Corki.
